Yes. Click on the Hardship
& City Information button on the navigation bar to
find information on the following:
* The local
environment. This section provides basic
background information on personal security in the
destination city, climate, public holidays and
briefings on the political and economic structure of
the country concerned.
* Housing tables.
In each city report, the reader can find
up-to-date information on rental costs for furnished
and unfurnished apartments and houses that are
suitable for expatriates. The EIU researchers have
chosen these price ranges after carefully
investigating expatriate living customs in each
location. It should be noted however, that cost of
living prices generally indicate the top end of
accommodation that is likely to be available at the
time of the survey in the local housing market. In
some cases, changing market conditions may create
scarcities for certain types of housing at the price
range we have indicated. Serious shortages at the time
of the survey are, however, pointed out by a note of "n.a."
(not available) following the corresponding type of
accommodation. It is important to note, also, that
indigenous executives in most locations who have been
living in rented units for several years will probably
be paying far less for their accommodation than the
prices indicated in the cost of living tables.
* Disposable income
tables. The disposable income tables show the
percentages of gross salary remaining to an employee
after the personal income tax and social security
contributions relevant to his or her marital status
have been removed. Disposable income tables are not
available for every city in the survey.
